>>105017669Avatar is the story of Gundam 0079 in the world of Exalted. If Exalted hadn't decided to go with "vaguely oriental" then Avatar wouldn't have either. Ergo it is based on a western influence, ergo it is a cartoon.
If I am going back to my fa/tg/uy roots anyways compare Big Eyes Small Mouth, a western hyper JP game, to Tenra Bansho Zero, an JP hyper JP game, to see a very clear example of how the cultural perception of the premise has a bigger impact on a finished work than the premise itself
